Secret War Against Japan

The Secret War Against Japan, by Colonel Allison W. Ind of the United States Army, was originally published in 1958 as Allied Intelligence Bureau: Our Secret Weapon in the War Against Japan. Now once again available, the book is the dramatic accounting of the principal activities of the AIB-the Allied Intelligence Bureau-a group of British, Australian, Dutch, and American clandestine services formed in June 1942 during World War II. It was the task of the AIB to get spies and coastwatchers into the right places, not only amid the islands of the Philippines, but in a vast area of the southwestern Pacific. The AIB also supported and conducted numerous guerrilla operations throughout the region. Their contribution to the Allied victory was significant, and in part reflected in the over 170 decorations awarded to members of the AIB.

This new edition includes a Preface by Steve W. Chadde, maps, and photographs of AIB activities and personnel."
